How to Block Shopping Sites on Chrome Using BlockP Extension

This is a fairly common experience for many of us - we open our computer just to check email, and somehow within fifteen minutes we are paying for ten things we never knew we needed! The idea to block shopping sites on Chrome is needed to protect us from exactly this situation.

When you are online, your browsing behavior across the devices is captured and monetized. It lets the advertisers build your profile and give you targeted ads. So, online shopping becomes harder to resist.

Once online shopping crosses the threshold of convenience and becomes more like a habit, it has consequences. It can fragment your attention by disrupting your work sessions. And in extreme cases, it can have serious financial consequences.

That’s why BlockP gives you a dedicated setting to block shopping sites on Chrome. It is designed to protect you from the temptation of mindless consumption with a single click.

Why Block Shopping Sites on Chrome?

The Capital One Shopping Research report of 2026 says that 86% of Americans shop online. Which in itself is not alarming; what is concerning is how online shopping can trigger impulse buying behavior.

1. An average consumer spends $254 per month on impulse purchases, which adds up to roughly $3000 per year spent on impulsive buying!
2. 37% of shoppers are more likely to make an impulsive purchase when they are shopping online.
3. Among online shoppers, 72% have impulsively bought something because there was an advertised discount.

Online shopping sites are designed with similar principles to a slot machine to trigger the impulse to buy. The option to check out with one click, saving all your payment details, etc., makes online buying frictionless.

The shopping sites also give you highly personalized product feeds and algorithm-based recommendations that can make you more likely to buy more impulsively. Flash sales and limited-time banners are also designed to create FOMO
